Animal Health Regulations, A-20.01 Reg 1

The Animal Health Regulations (Chapter A-20.01 Reg 1) under Saskatchewan law establish the framework for managing animal health, including the identification of inspectors, the classification of diseases, and procedures for reporting, testing, and responding to outbreaks. Inspectors must carry official identification, and laboratories are required to conduct and report additional tests when certain diseases are detected. The regulations specify how orders are to be served and outline the process for claiming compensation related to disease control measures, including destruction of animals, cleaning, and business disruption. Compensation is subject to conditions, including proof of costs and adherence to biosecurity standards, and may be refused or reduced in cases of negligence or non-compliance. The regulations also address the handling of proceeds from the disposition of animals and impose restrictions on certain imported animals. Previous regulations are repealed, and the new provisions come into force in alignment with The Animal Health Act. The appendix lists diseases designated as reportable or notifiable.
